Chapter 26: Sheltering from the Rain at the Earth Temple
Zhou Ying curled her lips in dissatisfaction and muttered, "That's easy to say. How can you understand my difficulties if you're not me? There's no such thing as empathy. You just open and close your mouth and say it so easily."
Shen Yunyue has sensitive ears.
After hearing Zhou Ying's mumbling, I knew that he was also a hopeless case.
She ignored Zhou Ying.
The rain is getting heavier.
Someone pleaded with the escort, "Sir, please find a place to rest. Wait until the rain stops before you leave."
"It's the dead of winter, but it's killing us."
As more and more people begged for mercy, the men with mustaches also started to think about it. Although they had straw raincoats and could hide in the carriage, these escorts were worried about their mounts.
Scarface Peng swung the whip in his hand.
"Let's go. There's a land temple five miles ahead. We can rest there."
As soon as Scarface Peng finished speaking, the people on the road seemed to be energized.
I wish I could have the wind under my feet.
Everyone was busy getting on with their journey, and no one wanted to start a quarrel at this time.
It took about half an hour to walk.
Arrived at a land temple.
The group was all excited when they saw the red brick wall.
"We're here, we're here. The Earth God Temple is right in front."
"Mother, please hurry up."
"What should I do if my clothes are all wet?"
…
Everyone supported each other and rushed forward, wanting to occupy the best position.
Shen Yunyue was not willing to be outdone.
In modern times, there are ways to grab a position.
She called out to the Shen family behind her to follow quickly.
"Everyone, hurry up and find a spot in the corner." As soon as the words fell, Shen Yunyue, wearing rain boots, rushed out at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
Shen Citong didn't have time to respond.
I looked up and saw Shen Yunyue disappearing into the crowd. She was too short to be found in the crowd.
"Let's catch up quickly. Don't let Yunyue be bullied alone."
The Shen family hurried to catch up. They were all wearing straw raincoats and holding sticks, so they had more stamina than the others. Plus, everyone had eaten steamed buns that morning, so they were naturally faster than the others.
Some people couldn't bear it anymore and started coughing.
Shen Yunyue rushed to the land temple, where dozens of people had already squeezed in and occupied the best seats. She quickly glanced around and then ran to a place with a broken window.
I caught a glimpse of a pile of thatch behind the Earth God.
He quickly took it and spread it on the ground, and placed his stick next to it to separate a space.
Ah Si also hurried over with a few stacks of straw.
"Uncle Si, bring the straw over here and spread it out."
Only then did someone react and start looking for thatch everywhere.
A woman from the He family cursed:
"Shen family girl, you are going too far. You have thatch in your own carriage, but you still want to use thatch from the temple. You should be content with what you have. Don't be too greedy and choke yourself to death."
"Old woman, why are you blaming me for not being able to see the thatch? The He family has so many people and carriages, so why is there no one cutting the thatch?"
The old woman was choked by Shen Yunyue.
Naturally, there are people in the He family who cut the thatch, but who would complain about having too much thatch?
"You sharp-tongued girl, let me see how I'm going to deal with you later."
Shen Yunyue gathered the straw under her feet and stood up when she had enough straw on the ground for her family to live in. She swung a straw in her hand and chuckled:
"If you don't have that ability, just say it directly. Don't clean it up later. I want to see what you are capable of."
The old woman was so angry that she fell backwards.
But there is no way.
Shen Yunyue was right, there was indeed no way to deal with her.
People outside came in one after another.
Compared to everyone who dislikes rain, He Luxue was secretly happy after seeing the Tudigong Temple, and hoped that the rain would be heavier and last longer.
Everyone was in the temple, so she naturally had a way to get close to Shen Yunyue.
Then I can take the opportunity to absorb her luck.
Think of this.
He Luxue's eyes lit up.
He Luxhuang looked at He Luxue's excited face and wondered what she was doing.
He kept a careful eye on He Luxue and followed closely. "Third sister, you seem very happy?"
He Luxue suppressed her excitement and whispered:
"Wouldn't it be nice if the rain gave you a break? If we keep walking like this, we'll die of exhaustion on the road sooner or later."
He Lushuang thought it made sense and nodded happily:
"Third sister is really thoughtful. I have several blisters on my feet, and it hurts so much to walk. Now we're caught in the rain, and I'm tired, cold, and hungry."
"Sister Shuang, Auntie used to like you so much. She always said that you were her favorite daughter-in-law. It seems that Cousin Xuanheng has you in his heart."
He Lushuang snorted in disdain:
"Who likes a disabled person in a wheelchair?"
"You are stupid. Even if you don't want him, it doesn't stop you from being with him. Cousin Xuan Heng has food and raincoats. Do you really think that all the money, clothes and food were given to them by the poor relatives of the Shen family?" He Luxue didn't like her stupid sister.
Looking at He Lushuang's stupid look, he came up with an idea.
"Haven't you figured it out yet? It must be someone the Fu family once cared for, but they didn't dare to openly care for them. Naturally, they took advantage of the poor relatives of the Shen family to give them money. Without these things, that little bitch of the Shen family got them."
"Yeah. That little bitch from the Shen family didn't get any advantage." He Lushuang imagined herself wearing a straw raincoat and eating steamed buns, and a sense of happiness arose spontaneously.
"I'm going to find my cousin." She lifted her skirt and rushed to the Tudigong Temple.
"Hmph. Shen Yunyue, let's see how a little girl like you can take this." He Luxue raised the corners of her mouth, tightened the oilcloth wrapped around her body, and rushed into the temple.
Gradually.
The temple was full of people.
Even the eaves were full of people.
When there are too many people in a small place, trouble will naturally arise.
"Hey, you squeezed me."
"You're all wet, don't get close to me and pass your illness on to me."
"It stinks, why are you squeezing there?"
…
The Shen family was in a corner, next to them were Mr. Lu and others. There was no quarrel between the two families. Mr. Lu nodded and smiled at Shen Yunyue.
Shen Yunyue responded with a smile.
She took the cloak and covered Fu Xuanheng's legs. Now Fu Xuanheng's knees no longer hurt. He had a premonition that he would be able to stand up and walk.
But now is not the time to expose yourself.
"Yunyue, you sit down too." Fu Xuanheng pointed to the seat next to him and asked her to sit down.
I inexplicably disliked Shen Yunyue running around and making arrangements. A little girl like her didn't even know how to take a break.
"Uncle Si went to the forest to look for firewood. I'll get some rootless water in a bucket to make medicine. Although you're riding in a carriage, we have straw raincoats. It's still cold, so drink a bowl of ginger tea to keep it away."
As soon as Shen Yunyue finished speaking.
Someone from the Lu family stood up and said, "Uncle, I'm going to the woods to find some firewood. Many of our family members are soaked, so we could use some hot water."
A dignified old man sitting next to Mr. Lu nodded slightly.
"Go ahead."
Many people in the land temple took action.
Someone broke the offering table in the temple, and the few fruits on it were divided among those who arrived first.
There was a commotion.
Shen Yunyue came to the eaves outside.
Yingfeng watched over the carriage and unloaded it to the corner at the end, feeding the horses with fine hay in his hand.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Yingfeng always felt that this horse was in better physical condition than before, and did not look like a wounded horse that had retired from the battlefield.
I didn’t know that Shen Yunyue had added something to the fodder.
This was what she took from the space to increase the horse's nutrition and physical strength.
"Miss Yue. Tell me what you need." Yingfeng took the wooden bucket from Shen Yunyue's hand and placed it under the corridor to collect water.
"Take the stove off the carriage. We need to boil a pot of medicine to prevent colds." Shen Yunyue climbed onto the carriage and searched through her bag.
That day, the eldest uncle of the Mo family gave me some herbs for treating colds.
She added a few herbs from the space and put them in the casserole.
"Miss Yue, please go into the temple. I'm here outside." Yingfeng had already taken out the stove and placed it on the ground.
He took a tinder and a few small pieces of wood.
"Okay. Boil a few more pots of medicine, lend a pot to the officers, and then give it to them." Shen Yunyue gave instructions one by one.
The people next to him looked unhappy and thought to themselves what a flatterer he was.
"Okay, I understand."
